Scream Factory stalks MANHUNTER (review)

Before Jonathan Demme's award-winning SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, Michael Mann brought Hannibal Lector to the screen in MANHUNTER based on Thomas Harris' earlier novel RED DRAGON.  CSI's William Peterson stars as retired FBI profiler Will Graham brought back to work to discover the identity of "The Tooth Fairy Killer" before he claims the lives of another entire family.  To find the killer, Graham must think like him, taking him back into dark places he inhabited when he was hunting Hannibal Lector whose help he seeks on the case.  Joan Allen, Tom Noonan, Dennis Farina, Stephen Lang, and Brian Cox also star.
